Free Vibration Analysis of Multi-walled Nanobeams using Eringen’s Nonlocal Elasticity Theory

Abstract

This article is intended to present free vibration analysis of single- double- and multi-walled (SW- DW- and MW-) carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with combinations of simply-supported free and clamped edge conditions embedded or non-embedded in an elastic medium Based on the principle of virtual displacements (PVD) and Reissner’s mixed variational theorem (RMVT) the corresponding strong- and weak-form formulations of the local Timoshenko beam theory(TBT) are reformulated for the free vibration analysis of SW- DW- and MW-CNTs and presented for illustrative purposes
